NOTE. 


T o those whose portraits appear in this volume, I am gratefully 
thankful. It gives to the Republicans of Ohio a gallery of 
leaders of the party in State and Nation. Our only regret is 
that more did not comply, thereby adding to its value as a souvenir of 
the memorable campaign of 1900. 

Respectfully yours, 

Wm. L. Bloomer. 


Columbus, March 1, 1901. 







Retrospect and Foreword 


T he Ohio Republican campaign of 1900 was in one respect unique. It was conducted, in its Presidential 
aspect, in entire independence of the Republican National Committee. General Charles Dick reluct- 
antly accepted its management, at the earnest request of leading Republicans of the State, to which 
was added the wish of President McKinley himself. But he made the stipulation that he should have 
its absolute control, both in its national and state aspects. That he and the National Committee were in 
hearty accord, goes without saying; but General Dick’s word was final as to any matter pertaining to 
the Ohio campaign. He is therefore entitled to full credit for the splendid victory achieved in the 
President’s home state, as it was due to his acute political sagacity and superb executive ability. 

He realized from the first that the real issue between the two great parties was the same as in the tremendous 
battle of 1896; and that, could the voters be brought to see this, victory, complete and overwhelming, was assured. 
The outcome proved the correctness of his judgment, and the sagacity of the methods of work based upon it. 

The Republican campaign was waged largely upon educational lines, and therefore the party newspapers of the 
state were a most important factor in the contest. Never did they take up the work with more enthusiasm, nor 
carry it on more steadily and persistently Their efforts surpassed, in energy and efficiency, even those of the splendid 
campaign of four years ago Chairman Dick is a thorough believer at all times in the newspaper as an educational 
factor of the first importance in political work. Hence he took the deepest interest in the work of the Press Bureau. 
He was never to busy to discuss matters pertaining to its sphere, or to give his counsel to the methods of conducting 
its work. 

The cartoon service of the Press Bureau has been a notable feature of the Ohio Republican campaigns for 
several years. A spirited and “pat” cartoon reaches the understanding at a glance. It furnishes an argument or an 
answer more easily comprehended by most persons than one which involves the reading of a half-column of letter- 
press. This service for 1900 was exceptionally strong. Mr._ William L. Bloomer, the artist, is a young man, still in 
the period of mental and artistic growth; and every succeeding year his political cartoons have shown a marked 
improvement in vigor and excellence. The numerous requests which came to the Press Bureau from all over the 
state for more cartoons than were furnished at first, is the best possible testimony to the telling quality and great 
political usefulness of Mr. Bloomer’s artistic productions. 

The present volume is made up from those furnished during the late campaign, and is issued in compliance with 
requests from Republicans all over Ohio, who desire to possess a souvenir of the triumphant Presidential and state 
campaign of 1900 That it may have a circulation commensurate with the merits of the artist, is the earnest wish 
and sincere hope of the writer

Gen. Grosvenor’s Figures. 

April 28. 1900. 

It is obviously too early to make an intelligent forecast of the 
result of the Presidential election. So much depends upon the full 
tickets and the platforms of the two parties and upon the^events that 
may happen between now and November that no prophecy can be 
anything more than a hope-fathered guess. 

Nevertheless the electoral table given by Gen. Grosvenor, a 
close friend of the President and an experienced politician, is inter- 


esting. Gen. Grosvenor claims for 

McKinley these states: 


California.

North Dakota.

Senator John K. Jones, Chairman of the National Democratic 
Committee, refused to be quoted as predicting the way the states 
will vote for President next November, but the following estimate by 
states is from quite as authoritative a source, and shows the con¬ 
servative expectations of the Bryan managers. It answers the 
figures given by Representative Grosvenor, the spokesman and 
official election prophet of the McKinley party.
